Abstract

In recent years, an emerging research work in recommendation systems aimed at exploring users’ potential interaction preferences. However, most existing methods can only capture information about the user’s purchase (or click) history. To estimate users’ potential interaction preferences more accurately, it is necessary to consider auxiliary information when modeling user-item interactions. In this paper, a Light Cross-Attention Network (LCAN) is proposed. LCAN makes full use of existing information in three parts: 1) User-Item interaction graph. The interaction history is an important signal, and the user’s interaction preferences can be obtained directly from the interaction history. 2) User-User and Item-Item relationships. The user-user and item-item graphs are additionally constructed based on the similarity between users and items to alleviate data sparseness. 3) Complementarity between graphs. Information between different graphs is interrelated, and a graph-level cross-attention network is used to capture the complementarity between graphs. Extensive experiments have been conducted by comparing state-of-the-art methods, and it shows that our LCAN model can outperform the most advanced recommendation methods.
